Hello! I'm a veteran roguelike player, but very new to ToME 4. I just had a character die to what at first appeared to be a single attack. Looking at the logs it appears that several turns happened after my last user action, including my toon attacking an enemy.

The last input I put into the computer was casting Fireflash on the second line. My only guess is that my palm was resting on the trackpad, which was interpreted as moving into the enemy, but I have never had this happen before. Also, I doubt I would have done it perfectly for 3 attacks.

30-something total damage on all of them and only happening after being hit. That's almost definitely melee retaliation damage from your gear. You didn't bonk the guy with your staff, you were just slowed, and the enemy probably hasted / has high combat speed so they got 3-4 turns in on you after your cast. The enemy took minor damage from hitting you in melee but the multi attacks were enough to kill you in one player turn.

Thanks all for the responses. It's a bit terrifying that this sort of thing is possible on Normal difficulty, but I did learn that "Auto-use when enemies are visible" doesn't fire on the first turn of an ambush. My -1k life Heroism may have saved me, and I just assumed it was running when casting Fireflash.
